10:1 RATIO DIVIDER 

This  configuration  is  used  to  divide  by  a  factor  of  10  the  voltage  that  is  present  at  the 
Voltage Input terminals.  Connect as described in Figure 3-4. 

Configure the touch screen for the 10:1 divider ratio and enable the divider.  Turn on the 
input  voltage  source  and  a  voltage  will  be  produced  at  the  Voltage  Output  that  is  the 
Voltage  Input  divided  by  10.    Allow  sufficient  time  for  the  measurement  to  stabilize.  
Once stabilized the output voltage will be a 10:1 ratio value within 0.1 ppm of the input 
value. 

3.8.

 

100:1 RATIO DIVIDER 

This  configuration is  used to  divide by a factor of 100 the voltage that is  present  at  the 
Voltage Input terminals.  Connect as described in Figure 3-4. 

Configure the touch screen for the 100:1 divider ratio and enable the divider.  Turn on the 
input  voltage  source  and  a  voltage  will  be  produced  at  the  Voltage  Output  that  is  the 
Voltage  Input  divided  by  100.    Allow  sufficient  time  for  the  measurement  to  stabilize.  
Once stabilized the output voltage will be a 100:1 ratio value within 0.2 ppm of the input 
value. 

3.9.

 

1000:1 RATIO DIVIDER 

This configuration is used to divide by a factor of 1000 the voltage that is present at the 
Voltage Input terminals.  Connect as described in Figure 3-4. 

Configure the touch screen for the 1000:1 divider ratio and enable the divider.  Turn on 
the input voltage source and a voltage will be produced at the Voltage Output that is the 
Voltage Input divided by 1000.  Allow sufficient time for the measurement to stabilize.  
Once  stabilized  the  output  voltage  will  be  a  1000:1  ratio  value  within  0.5  ppm  of  the 
input value.
